Film festivals are a natural part of the independent filmmakers’ journey. While most filmmakers are focused on the “final act” of the screening, and some do acknowledge the monumental amount of work that goes into producing an event, very few actually know just what it takes to pull off a festival of merit.
As the Founder and Executive Director of the Santa Clarita International Film Festival (SCIFF) let me take a moment to enlighten you.Putting together a film festival is not for the faint of heart. In order to stand out from the plethora of festivals that exist these days, SCIFF must establish a brand and reputation that is highly respected in order to distance itself from the crowd.
